Authentic Flow counseling is for children, youth, adults, couples and families. In addition to traditional "talk therapy" and Mental Health Counseling I offer other modalities, as there are many ways to get from where you are, or how you feel - to where you want to be, and how you want to feel. My other services that you can pick from and combine according to your sense of safety, preference or adventure include: 

Hypnotherapy, Orgone Therapy/Body Psychotherapy, Somatic therapy modalities, Mind-Body-Spirit Energy Healing Work, Meditation/Mindfulness teachings and Reiki. These modalities add a way for you to connect body/mind/soul/spirit to work in a deeper way. These services can be conducted face to face or in HIPPA secure videoconferencing. In the therapy session I bring warmth, sensitivity to your values and needs, a caring and compassionate non-judgmental stance, and dosages of humor or light-hearted play when appropriate. I have many different tools and techniques within my repertoire, however, I believe in moving within what you feel comfortable with. I believe the therapeutic relationship is sacred and to be cultivated and treated as a place of safety, honesty, and mutual collaboration.  

I will honor you in the place that you are, offering you a highly personalized approach tailored to your individual needs to help you attain the personal growth or fulfillment you are striving for.
